Can we fast forward to this time next week when it's all over!?
I'm not either but that is because we were supposed to close on our house yesterday and was rescheduled for Wednesday and that's not going to happen either so I'm really bummed.
But the presents are bought and wrapped and under the tree, apt is kinda cleaned because someone is touring it today. Decorated somewhat - the tree is up and decorated. I sent out like 5 Christmas cards because I forgot stamps and I'm visiting my mom who has to work at 3 pm so after 2:30 I wont see her but my DH comes home from work around 2:30 and we'll have our Christmas.

Just waiting for new year :P
Every Christmas I have two shopping lists: DH's family, who are local to us, & my family who is out of state, which means their items have to be taken care of first b/c of mailing. With that said:
Presents bought? - mostly
Wrapped? the out-of-state ones, yes, & mailed this morning!
House clean? - far from it
Decorated? No. We haven't even purchased a tree. Not sure what's going to happen there.
Christmas cards done? No.
Visitors? Nope.
I Love love love christmas. Although this year i'm not feeling as in the spirit as usually. I think its because we have no snow. And we almost ALWAYS have snow. Also because I reallly want to be moving out of our current place somewhere new, but that wont be happening for another year and half. But still I am happy its christmas time
Presents bought? - DH has two more things to get for people and then we are DONE.
Wrapped? Going to pick up wrapping paper and bows today, then wrapping my day away with coco and christmas music.
House clean? - Doing that today also
Decorated? Yes! Lights and tree were done last weekend
Christmas cards done? Never do them.
Visitors? We will be going to MILs for xmas and my mothers on xmas eve.
Presents bought? -I think I'm FINALLY done
Wrapped? Everything is except the kids gifts (and there are a ton, I better get off the computer and get to it)
House clean? - for the most part. Once I get everything wrapped and the wrapping essentials put away it'll be fine)
Decorated? Have been since Thanksgiving day
Christmas cards done? mailed yesterday
Visitors? We are the visitors... My hubby will be home Christmas Eve morning.
